I would think it would be somewhat sunny at some of the times after a storm
like this. One solar panel could run a nice transceiver during sunlight and if
you were not doing tons of transmitting it could charge a batt. If you are
going to invest in a rig and antenna, why not a solar panel?

Actually most of Utah does as well as many groups of LDS church folk that
